Didnt belive it . Tried it . Confused. What were they thinking when they decide to make this

iirc Ctrl + Alt + Shift + Win is an alias for the Office key found on some Surface Pro computers, which can be used to open LinkedIn with Office + L

Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Win is one of the most windows things that could happen. You just press some keys that should do nothing and boom, microsoft ad. I hope the EU version of windows will be stripped of that crap.

Dual boot? Disgusting. Windows doesn’t get the privilege of bare metal in my house. It must relegated to a virtual machine

That's good but some people use windows for

VM gaming was a lot easier to setup than I expected. Anything is possible with the Arch Wiki! Some anticheats will block you though, so super competitive games like Counterstrike or Apex Legends are out

Ah, so that's my ctrl+alt+shift+win opens the office app. I discovered that a couple of years ago and I couldn't find it documented anywhere.

somw keyboards have an Office key.
perviouslyiner@lemm.ee · 5 pts · 2y
wasn't this part of a plan for a special keyboard with keys for some common websites?

Just tested, no it doesn’t.

I think it'll be added in plasma 6 then, idk I remember seeing a merge request about it
BautAufWasEuchAufbaut@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 3 pts · 2y
I really gotta see a source for that. No way that would be merged.

It's a key sequence by default: Win, l, i, n, k, e, d, i, n, Enter

Not if you turned off search results in the start menu.
mvirts@lemmy.world · 26 pts · 2y
By default 😹

Yammer (now/soon called viva engage) is a weird social media service for internal usage inside a company.
I have no idea why it exists, but it does.
SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world · 36 pts · 2y
I'm not going to install Windows just to try this
AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net · 18 pts · 2y
Can verify, it works. Am horrified and baffled in equal measure.

LinkedIn lunatics eating good.
Smorty@lemmy.blahaj.zone · 27 pts · 2y
Question though: Does it ACTUALLY pick YOUR default browser, or does it pick their favourite browser?
vox@sopuli.xyz · 19 pts · 2y
it actually opens in the default browser

Well, it's a 'feature' on that one line of laptop. Besides it's not like shortcuts performance suffer because of this, it's merely an obscure 'fun to know'.
